This is why comics aren't fun anymore.

Hey, Power Pack was a fun comic and very different... especially for Marvel at that time.

Surely they're all dead by the end of the first issue.

I don't know what comic book you're talking about, but it's definitely not Power Pack #1 from the 1980s. They were alive and well, and superpowered, for many issues on.

Superhero comics are no good unless they have gratuitous cleavage, excessive violence, a dark tone and a superhero wife getting raped by the super villain. I'm so glad comics have evolved over the years. I really missed out reading those fun adventure comic books when I was 8.

:sigh:

First few issues of Power Pack were pretty good.

Really? There were no sexual references or big boob jokes?

Louise Simonson always wrote characters as loud, whiny children with a limited vocabulary and complete lack of subtlety. So in many ways, "Power Pack" was a perfect fit for her. At least there's an excuse when it's kids.

One issue of Power Pack was denied the CCA seal. In that issue, 5-year-old Katie Power, AKA Energizer, accidentally kills one of the alien Snarks.

I rather liked some of the issues of "Power Pack" that I saw.

To be fair, he was the Super-Skrull equivalent of the Snarks and was pretty bad ass. And it turns out he didn't die.

I loved Power Pack. I'd kill to write it.
